Like you didn’t see this coming: no one pays attention during conference calls.
InterCall, a company that does conference calling services, conducted a survey of 500 full-time workers, asking them what they’re up to during calls. The results are illuminating:
- 65% do other work
- 63% send emails
- 55% make or eat food
- 47% use the bathroom
- 44% text
- 43% check social media
- 25% play video games
- 21% shop online
We’d be upset, but we’re too busy writing this article, eating pudding, and shooting zombies while we’re on this conference call . . . from the bathroom.
